Filipendula rubra 'Venusta'

AGM. A robust perennial that, once established, will spread to form large clumps. Pinnate leaves and tall stems of deep pink flowers aging to a pale, rose-pink, provide a striking addition to the late summer border. Jul-Aug. H120cm S90cm.

Care Instructions

Grow in fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained or poorly-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. The flowers age nicely and can be left until the autumn before cutting back. This is an excellent choice for prairie planting when combined with plants of equal vigour such as Lythrum ‘Rosy Gem’ and some of the Miscanthus.
